Characters

본문내용

The house of the title is a gloomy New England mansion, haunted from its foundation by fraudulent dealings, accusations of witchcraft, and sudden death.
The current resident, the dignified but desperately poor Hepzibah Pyncheon, opens a shop in a side room to support her brother Clifford, who is about to leave prison after serving thirty years for murder.
She refuses all assistance from her unpleasant wealthy cousin Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon.
A distant relative, the lively and pretty young Phoebe, turns up and quickly becomes invaluable, charming customers and rousing Clifford from depression.
A delicate romance grows between Phoebe and the mysterious attic lodger Holgrave, who is writing a history of the Pyncheon family.

Phoebe takes leave of the family to return to her country home for a brief visit, but will return soon.
Unfortunately, before she leaves, Clifford stands at the large arched window above the stairs and has a sudden urge to jump upon viewing the mass of humanity passing before him and his recollection of his youth lost to prison.
That instance, coupled with Phoebe`s departure ? she was the only happy and beautiful thing in the home for the depressed Clifford to dwell on ? sends Clifford into a bed-ridden state.
